For some reason the links didn't post--sorry--here is the link for CHEO: http://www.cheohome.org/legislative-information-2/archived-legislative-updates/legislative-alert-diploma-fairness-52014-2/
Please help homeschool graduates who are being unfairly penalized for using a legal education option. Ohio Administrative Code (3301-34) establishes the regulations for home education and parents have a legal and constitutional right to direct the education of their children. When parents follow the law, their diploma is equivalent to issuing a diploma for any other legal option for educating children. Thus, home educated students, who have completed their education, should not be required to take a GED. HB 487 only partially addresses this issue. Please take immediate action to remove the roadblocks that some home school graduates are experiencing; support the language drafted as an amendment #AM2737x1 to HB 487.
